Paul Coxhill, Chief Marketing Officer at WGSN and moderator for the event commented: “WGSN believes creatives need to look outside their day-to-day work, even their industry, to stay relevant and innovative. We are bringing WGSN Futures to Hong Kong to challenge the way brands in the region see the world, inspire individual creativity and connect to WGSN’s community in APAC.”

The event will also see the presentation of the Future Creator Award, a collaboration between WGSN and Arts Thread. The initiative recognises top emerging talent from 2016/17 graduate artists and designers, giving young creatives a platform to showcase their work and gain exposure to some of the most exciting brands on the market. A total of seven graduates will be honoured at Futures summits throughout 2017, with Vaclav Mlynar, a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, having won the first award at Futures London for his mixed reality board game KOSKI.
